    Hy Vee (midwest chain) has some pretty good store branded stuff...I buy quite a bit of it.

    Their store brand greek yogurt is comparable to Fage (IMO) - I like it 100x better than Chobani

    Truth be told, the real reason I chose it was they had a fuel saver on it this week (when you buy certain items you get a cents off per gallon credit on gas)...I went in intending to get the sea salt caramel Talenti. I'll just get that next time!

    Day 1: Talenti Double Dark Chocolate
    Day 2: Talenti Salted Caramel Pop
    Day 3: Cadbury Chocolate Creme Egg
    Day 4: Chocolate cupcake with green icing and sprinkles
    Day 5: Another cupcake.
    Day 6: Talenti Salted Caramel Pop
    Day 7: Talenti Double Dark Chocolate and later Peeps with a Blue Moon
    Day 8: Cadbury Chocolate Cream Egg with breakfast. Because Saturday.

    And I suspect the second sleeve of Peeps will happen later.

    I rather enjoyed the Peeps with the beer. The cloying sweetness of the sugar-covered marshmallows was a lovely contrast to the slight bitterness of the beer. Or perhaps I just had enough beer that I was willing to believe this. I may have to try this again, or have the Peeps with something sweeter. Like SoCo.

    Seeing as you're in St. Louis, it's possibly the same bakery. Missouri Bakery? (Yes, I creeped your profile. I've never heard of any other Italian bakery that has something called chocolate drops...had to be done!)

    That's the one! We live on The Hill!

    I believe that posting inspirational pictures is an important way to provide encouragement during any cleanse, including a Peep cleanse. Stay strong folks!

    I was THRILLED to see on the package that Peeps have "Always been fat and gluten free".

    I think we must be cheap, because that's what I usually get. Once in a while I'll get something a little nicer, generally if it's on sale, but most of the time it's Kroger Select, or whatever it's called, for us. I think we're just used to it now.

    Day 1: Chocolate pie, apple pie, and buttermilk pie.

    Day 3: Cadbury caramel egg and Dryers salted caramel and pretzel frozen custard.
    Day 4: Martin House Counterclockwise, Prairie Limo Tint, and Sierra Nevada Wild Hop Neomexicanus, and Cadbury caramel egg.
    Day 5: B&J salted caramel core.

    Day 8: I really wanted a bacon wrapped fried twinkie, but although we heard it existed, we could not find the stand at the rodeo with it. Had to settle for splitting a fried snickers, fried nutter butters, fried smores (with reces peanut butter cup for the chocolate), and fried dough e o's (cookie dough around oreos then battered and fried; the cookie dough gets soft but does not cook). Plus some milky way simply caramel bites.

    Day 6: we were visiting my family in KC . We went to a grilled cheese restaurant and got a dessert: s'mores on glazed donut sandwich, later I went to an artisanal chocolate shop. I got these little beauties, which are almost too pretty to eat... They had flavors like chai tea, different wine infused ones, chili...

    Day 7: not many sweets today. We went to my favorite Mexican restaurant and had a huge lunch with spinach queso, all the chips and salsa, tacos and a couple coronas. I had a couple lemon Girl Scout cookies before bed so I didn't lose the positive effects of the cleanse...
